Now I miss Mark the Shark, RIP.

My older brother listened to DeBella religiously on MMR, and I remember him because he did interstitial segments on Ch. 29 between cartoons. I do remember listening to the Zoo and Mark talking about how he defrosted his windows with hot water, while DeBella listened incredulously.

Then one day, he didn't make it in because he shattered his windshield. I don't know why that has stuck with me since, what, 1987?

Well as another commenter suggested for one of the possible reasons there are so many charter applications from the Northeast, is that they're multi general residents with family and friends who live around them, and they don't want to give that up, so they pay for private school.

It's a personal choice where finance isn't the sole factor for decision making, factors such as proximity of your support network, the inconvenience of moving versus the quality of the neighborhood you're currently in, etc.

Otherwise you're right, if one was to make a choice purely based on finance and quality of government services, moving to the suburbs is the better option every single time without question.

Thats a start… Now can we get 24 hour diners back? And can LA Fitness stay open till midnight again (city ave) and/or till 11pm (some other locations)..? Can we also get the holiday season hours of department stores back to midnight like back in the day? Can we also get bars to stay open till 2am no matter how slow it is? (2am is already a young bul early closing time compared to the surrounding grown up states, namely NY.)

An impromptu emergency protest was organized for a formerly aggressive, now dead pit bull in minutes because its owner was crying instead of taking responsibility in silence. To respond to your statement, I, too wish protests would ensue to demand the police get better at solving shootings.

They reached out for comment via email, phone, and in person. No where did that article make it sound like Fox29 had no clue who the organization was. And the organization never got back to them. I'm not sure what your attack "proves."

If you want even more info on the organization you can find it here

The blue lives boner crowd is really dumb. With simple resources and time I'd bet I could do better solving shootings using reverse image search and some open source AI shit. Honestly I think AI will end up being a great tool for murder police, if blue would ever stop delivering faxes by hand
